| OVERALL CONDITION | excellent and original. They do not appear to have been out of the case since 1977 and have built up some surface colour. Unusual to find silver in such untouched condition and so I have not polished them but am certain that they would brighten up easily with a light rub. My camera has exaggerated the degree of surface colour and they are all actually much lighter than they appear below. |
